Luxurious Beds. Fireplace. Hot Tub. Dogs yes! Spare Time Beach House is at the forefront of all the front row homes. Views span from Bodega Head to Jenner and everything in between. You can sleep with the windows open to the sound of the waves. People come to Carmet Beach specifically for the tide pooling and sunset views. Arched Rock, Dragon Rock, Carmet Beach State Park, Salmon Creek State Park & surfers (in the distance) are all visible from the living room and deck. Situated on the bluff directly above Carmet Beach. 1-2 minute stroll down to either side of Carmet beach. At low tide, there is access to multiple beaches to the south. The bungalow is curated to anticipate a guests every need. A well-stocked, warm and inviting beach house that offers some of the best views on the Sonoma Coast. Wake up to the crisp ocean air, watch remarkable sunsets, gaze at the starry sky while luxuriating in the sparkling hot tub. Fall asleep to the sound of the Pacific Ocean. This single story bungalow has maintained the air of a rustic beach cottage while being updated where it's important. Even discerning guests will feel comfortable. Original hard wood floors, plank ceilings, updated modern bathroom, stylish gas fireplace and appliances. New windows and sliding doors throughout. The beach house is solar powered. It provides excess energy to neighboring homes through Sonoma Clean Energy. Whale season is year round. You can see their migration from the property. Guests love the spacious deck and the opportunity to people watch visitors to Carmet Beach as well as the waves, whales, dolphins, and sea birds from "the good seats." The bird-watching from Spare Time Beach House is excellent. There is a local Bald Eagle that graces Carmet and it's typical to see American White and Brown Pelicans, an array of Hummingbirds, Herons, Egrets, Hawks, Canadian Geese and lots of shorebirds regularly. The property is pesticide-free and proudly becoming a pollinator habitat of California native plants as invasive plants are being removed and replaced. If you prefer to pay a little more to not spend your precious vacation among run-of-the-mill, worn out furnishings, this is the home for you. Every detail is thoughtfully selected to make your visit comfortable and stress free. Just unpack your suitcase and ice chest and settle in. Spare Time Beach House is set up for vacationing in style and comfort. You have frontline ocean views, a fenced/landscaped back yard with sparkling hot tub, firepit table, Adirondack chairs and loungers. The front deck has generous seating choices and a firepit dining table and chairs. Enjoy the coveted "Blue Chair" handcrafted by OW Lee. This sumptuous, overstuffed, swivel rocker may be the most comfortable piece of furniture you've ever experienced, perfect for whiling away hours staring at the ocean. If you never leave the property, you’ll still get everything you need from your coastal getaway. Whether looking for a peaceful retreat or a launch for coastal adventures, you’ve come to the right place. Spare Time offers it all. ​ I look forward to hosting your getaway.

The home is as described, it was very comfortable, and has modern conveniences. However, nothing can compare to the view, the beaches, and the attention of the host. We lived through a hefty winter storm and Cari was sure to check in on us (we did lose power, but there were emergency items in the home that enabled us to stay with only minor inconveniences), she made sure stayed updated and informed. We can’t wait to come back soon! ##### Amanda T.

We spent ALOT of time on the front deck in the wicker bench seat and enjoyed the view and relaxed. All of the amenities including the BBQ were in working order. You can tell that Cari puts a lot of care into the place from the timing of the outside lights, to the positioning of her firepits. It was a perfect time! I cant believe how relaxing it is and how close to everything we actually were. It was a perfect way to celebrate our 27 year anniversary! Thank you Cari! We will definitely be back. ##### Teresa W.

We felt so welcomed into this home and space. Everything was so well designed and laid out to give us a real sense of ease while we vacationed. ALL of the furnishing were really nice quality and thoughtful in what you might enjoy while there. Mornings spent sipping my coffee on the front porch with my dog, whether foggy or sunny, were amazing. Listening to the birds, hearing the waves below and taking in the stunning 180 view was so peaceful. And the sunsets, just incredible. In the hot tub watching shooting stars at night, or having a soak in the morning, our dog hanging out sunning herself in the fenced in yard with beautiful coastal natives while sparrows playfully swooped around. Magical, the whole stay. The only regret is that we didn't stay longer!! I know we'll be back someday for sure. ##### andrea b.

This was an AMAZING trip from start to finish for me and my two adult daughters! The check in process was flawless and Cari had supplied a manual that told you EVERYTHING you needed to know how her wonderful house. We had a few questions that she responded to immediately. The views from the living room, dining room and kitchen were awe-inspiring and her backyard is an oasis. We were allowed to bring our young dog, Skipper, and he enjoyed himself immensely in the backyard. The beds were quite comfortable and everything you need is provided. The power went out for a short time on the first night (due to a huge storm that we hear was rare for that area) but Cari had supplied everything we needed (even a little generator) to make the outage an adventure rather than a burden! We hope to come back here next year and would recommend this house to anyone who is looking for serene views and a warm, cozy house. Thank you Cari! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy S. 21 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent reason to make time for Spare Time and relax and unplug! This property is cute and clean and the views are exceptional! The decor is very comfy and feels cozy just like home. The gas fireplace warms up the house perfectly and the upgraded bathroom is a plus! The two bedrooms have nice furniture to put all your belongings in and the beds are so comfy with warm blankets. The front deck has comfy cushioned chairs to snuggle on and enjoy the amazing and breath taking panoramic views of the sunrise and sunsets over the full ocean view as far north and south as you can see and we spent everyday out there! The front of the house has full windows so you can enjoy the same views from inside . We went in November during crabbing season and it was so fun to watch the all the boats come in to fish and crab right in front of the house! The owner had supplied a pair of binoculars and a telescope to get a close up view! Cari was very friendly and easy to communicate with and is very thorough with all the information you need about the house to make your stay a pleasant experience. We loved the nice outside lights on the house that are on a timer for the evening it makes a pretty glow around the deck and the cozy blankets on the couches are great personal touches to make you feel welcome! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends and family. ##### Kathy S.
